I got nominated as well. From what I gathered there's no way UNSW is going to give $4000 entry scholarships to 830 students. To be nominated my careers' advisor asked me about 10 times whether UNSW was my first preference or not saying that if I didn't have it I couldn't be eligable. I think...

I really don't think it was too hard. I'm not saying I got full marks, people just found it difficult because it required a lot of algebra and they asked questions not asked in previous years, which really sorted out those who understood the work, and those who had just practiced getting an...

Now that my HSC's over I've made my vocab flash-cards available for public use - for 2007ers, I guess. If you go to www.flashcardmachine.com I've entered in all HSC syllabus prescribed (and some extra) Japanese Continuers vocab under: langauge-japanese and 12th grade. I found it very usefull...

6CO2+6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. CO2 is limiting reagent. Moles of CO2 = 1000000g÷(12+2×16) =22727.27moles No of moles of CO2 is 6× that of glucos so moles of glucoes = 22727.27÷6 = 3787.87 Mass =...

The induction question was actually really easy if you went about it in the correct way, which wasn't very obvious. i) could be done in 2 or so steps if you didn't expand but collect the LHS. The hardest part of ii) was showing true for n=1. For n=k+1 I retardedly tried to prove LHS=RHS...

I'm thinking raw for 3u 88%, raw for 4u 80%. The 3u exam wasn't *that* hard it's just that it had a lot of tricky and laborious algebra which made everything take long and made me rush at the end. Made a few stupid mistakes like subbing in the values in 5c)ii) wrong and completely fudging end of...

Um, there's a little done subject called "comparitive literature" or something, never met anyone who does it but it looks like english, only a lot lot better.

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam I thought the exam was *so* much easier than the ones I'd practiced. That said I did screw up the circle geometry, induction, 6a) triangle part v and didn't even attempted 8bii) onwards. Counting up my marks I think I'll've just broken 100/120...

Nah, first time I came across one of those I spent half an hour blindly guessing roots untill I finally gave up and asked my teacher. It was frustrating so wouldn't wanna leave someone else equally as frustrated right before the exam!

These ones are a bit weird in the way you have to approach them. You know it's one of them when the coëfficients 'rise and fall' but aren't a binomial expansion. 3x^4-11x³+14x²-11x+3 x²(3x²-11x+14-11/x+3/x²) x²[3(x²+1/x²) -11(x+1/x) +14] x²[3({x+1/x}²-2) -11(x+1/x) +14] - completing the...

Sparcod, you do as many past papers as you can, marking them and reworking the questions you got wrong. I'm really nervous. I didn't focus on ext2 much during the year as there were only 2 people doing it (me inclusive) and the other girl is satisfied with about 30% so I only got 66% in the...

Well, the average UAI is made about 65 so they cram 50% of the state in the 65-100 range so there are, I heard, about 16% of the state in 90-100 so it's easier than it sounds. But by the same token there are a lot of really motivated and studious people out there who really want those top positions.

Re: Japanese Continuers ... ridiculous.. Listening - pretty good, I always run out of time writing my answer and have to move onto the next one which breaks my train of thought, even though I go back. I missed a few details in the last one and screwed it up a bit Reading - These were good. A...

Well, I could do a DipEd but I'd wanna get as much teacher training as I could and an MTeach is the same as BEd but post-grad. I dunno how good a teacher I'd be though, that's why I'd wanna do the longer degree. I really like helping those in my class - but they want to understand and I dunno...

Though critically interpreting and analysing writing and information is necessary, I would argue that is it discouraged by the HSC English Advanced course, at least. If one were given Huxley’s “Brave New World” and told to ‘analyse it and formulate ideas as to what themes and messages it...

At a bare minimum of two. I know it's hard to fit into the time but that's why you need to just launch right into the analysis. Teachers told us two if we do Rime (well) and one other, otherwise his three shorters ones are needed. If you can find a link between some of them it makes it very easy...

Chem >> Phys Since they dumbed down physics starting the new HSC there's been a great shift in the type of student studying it - less mathsy, more wordy. Personally, I didn't like it and dropped it at the end of year 11 (though I came first in it =/) to pick up 4u maths. I really like chem and...

I'm will my UNSW BSc (Adv) majoring in maths (not sure which stream yet) just 'cause I like it and maths has so many applications in almost every field of finance, science, engineering etc. At the moment I'm tempted to do an MTeach afterwards and become a highschool teacher

While I liked almost all of my teachers for years 11 and 12, we only got a girft for our maths teacher because the majority of us had had her from year 7 to year 12, for 2u and 3u (and for me and another girl 4u). We got her a mug with a class photo, flowers and a card (original!). She was...

I find that while it isn't necessary, having a firm grasp of vocab is a really good way of making the listening and reading sections of the paper much less stressful. If I miss a few words in a listening passage the whole thing usually goes - I don't know where the word I didn't understand...
